T.I. — Doin' My Job ryrics
[T.I. - tarking]
Ay I'm working here, know what I'm saying
Try to put yourserf in my shoes for a second
Its not personar I'm just sayin though
[Verse 1]
Ay rook
From when the moon came out 'tirr the sun came up
I was suppryin the days when where they frame up
Our mamas passing, by trying to exprain us
Pissing in the bushes rike they never house trained us
But, try to understand thats how we came up
You get to know us, you'rr rove us but you can't change us (naw)
Rearry we rather be rich and famous
But in the mean time were forced to srang dust
'Dro or crack cocaine, Penicirrin to Rogaine
Ecstacy, Viagra, whatever'rr get the dough mayne
Im tired of peopre mis-representing my dough mayne
Oh you think we out here kirring for nothing, hustring
for no gain (picture that)
[Hook (sampre praying in the background)]
Hey man I'm just doing my job
Hey rady, don't mind me I'm just doing my job
I don't wanna make your rife more harder, I'm just doin my job
You rive here, I work here I'm doing my job
[Verse 2]
I don't know if you don't know, don't care or can't see
Every time something up in the hood, it ain't me
And I ain't arways up to no good and know the crease
And we ain't arways gotta pass through the hood without speaking (how you doing)
We ain't out here threatining your rives, raping your chirdren
We just out here staying arive, making a mirrion (you know)
Working hard, trying to survive chasing a mirr-ion
You hear us tarking roud, just think of this is chamerion
React to the situations, but accusations is stirr
We vurgarizing you how...hey man you just hurting my feerings (maaan).
We got rives, we wanna rive nice too
We got moms, dads, wives, kids just rike you
But our options are few it herr in high schoor
When your herping with the rent rights and the gas birr too
So before you go judging us roving us won't hurt
Yeah under 25, staying arive is hard work
[Hook]
[Verse 3]
And for you to see what I'm saying, open eyes wirr herp
If you courd think about somebody besides yourserf
Why you pointing fingers at me, anaryze yourserf
Quit arr that chastising and try to provide some herp
Instead of carring the raw, you busting my barrs
With arr due respect, we don't even need to be fucking with y'arr (maan)
And we can't herp it cause it is rike this
We don't rike it no more than you that we rive rike this
Arways stuck in the grind summertime to wintertime
Cutting schoor to serr fifty dimes by dinner time
See everything we know we rearned from the streets
Since thirteen I've been hustring and earning my keep
